Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ELD, ELDX, vs AB?

With that cartridge, I’d be far more worried about what bullet works at <200 yards than what works at 800.

I have no idea what a “143 ELD” is but I wouldn’t use it on game in a 26 Nosler. Same goes for the 140 and 147 ELD-M, although I think they’d be great at 200-800 yards.

The 143 ELD-X has the interlock ring so it might hold up at 3K impact velocity.

The 142 ABLR is bonded so I would trust it at any distance you’re likely to shoot. It will certainly outperform just about anything past 500.

The 140 AB will not be your best friend past 500, although it will certainly work farther than that. But from 5-500 yards, it should be the most reliable.

If I could get the 142 ABLR to shoot (my rifle LOVES them), it would be my choice for those distances. ELD-X a close second, followed by 140 AB.

Limit it to 600, and the AB wins by a landslide for durability up close.
